PJ day in my world

Today has been a pj day! I hit the brick wall that happens to me when I have been working 15 hr days every day for quite a few weeks - 7 to be precise - I suddenly decided I could chase my tail no longer. So all I've done today is change beds, make 3 soups, cook Ma's meals, run down and up stairs a minimum of 40 times to her,washing n ironing and move more furniture. So a lazy day off then.

We did have an interesting conversation tho,about the Strictly Come Dancing contestants. Do you know, says she in an incredulous voice, they get paid TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS to do that programme! Actually Mum, I think you may find it is more likely to be £250k. WHAT?? I though £250 was a LOT of money just to do that,they're only dancing. Not sure how many of the contestants would still be interested for £250 for the series, but maybe a few more people with my Ma' s values might be useful in public life!!

My new toy, Sophie the sewing machine has arrived! She is unpacked and sitting on the table daring me to thread her up and have a go.  I do have to have a go and very soon, because yesterday my brain was totally in neutral and I appear to have signed up for a City and Guilds Foundation Course in Embroidery. Today it went into overdrive when the very nice lady rang me up to ask for my email address to forward my assignments to!! Assignments?? I can't even switch the bleedin thing on, yet alone tackle assignments! I thought I had stressed I am a novice with extreme novical experience, my only experience of Textile Art was at a class my friend had booked on, didn't like the look of and sent me in to do instead! Admittedly I loved it, but as we say around these parts that means nowt! Anyway, I start in a couple of weeks, and probably finish a couple more after that!
